Welcome! I am an applied microeconomist at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York with interests in public finance, labor economics, and international trade. I received my Ph.D. in Applied Economics from the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, and hold a Masters in Urban and Regional Planning from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, as well as a B.A. (Honors) from the University of Southern California. Prior to joining the Fed, I was the George Tolley visiting fellow at the Becker-Friedman Institute at the University of Chicago.
